How they buy

Kenyan public procurement is conducted by individual procuring entities — ministries, counties, parastatals and universities — under the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act, with notices published on entity websites, in the press and on the government tenders portal. County-level procurement is a significant and growing share.

Across the capacity building & technical assistance notices we currently hold for Kenya, the most common form is the open tender or invitation to bid, followed by request for proposal and request for quotation. Each has its own rules — see RFP, RFQ and EOI compared and tendering procedures explained.

What qualifies you

Bidders need business registration, a valid tax compliance certificate, and typically registration with the procuring entity. Reservation schemes set aside a share of procurement for youth, women and persons with disabilities through the Access to Government Procurement Opportunities programme, which requires separate registration to claim.

Capacity-building contracts place named advisers alongside a counterpart institution, so evaluation focuses on individual expertise, relevant country or regional experience and language ability — CVs frequently carry more weight than the corporate profile. Assignments may be long-term embedded placements or a series of short inputs, and the deliverable is a strengthened institution rather than a product, which makes the measurement approach an important part of the proposal. Read the terms carefully for who the adviser reports to, what decision-making authority they do and do not have, and whether counterpart staff time and facilities are provided; assignments fail more often on unclear counterpart commitment than on the quality of the technical input.

Before committing effort, it is worth running a deliberate bid/no-bid decision and checking your submission against the responsiveness checklist.
